[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our daughter started on Zoloft with a similar profile. That is one of the meds approved for pediatric OCD. (Other SSRIs are also used but this is often the one they start with.) OCD often takes higher doses of meds to treat effectively but the doctor should start low and titrate up. (And she may get a lot of relief at lower doses at first.) You should see a psychiatrist, even if you ped will prescribe. Psychiatrists in this area usually don't take insurance. Therapy may be much more effective when her baseline anxiety is manageable. Meds made SUCH a difference for my DD - she got her life back.[/quote] Thanks for your detailed response! I am really hoping that meds will help - she's a great kid and I hate to see her in knots all the time. I will ask about Zoloft.[/quote]
